Measurement
You are working with a client who exhibits aggression by hitting staff when denied access to toys. You tally each instance of the client hitting you. What are you recording?
Frequency
A-2
Every time Jayden successfully transitions to the next activity he gets a sticker.
Continuous Schedule of Reinforcement
This schedule of reinforcement happens when you reinforce every instance of a behavior?
Continuous Reinforcement (CRF)
C-3
The withholding of reinforcement to discontinue the occurrence of a problem behavior
Extinction
D-5
This is an assessment we used to help identify stimuli that will be used as reinforcers
Preference Assessment
B-1
Your client is outside playing at recess. When time is up to go back to class, you instructed the client that recess is over. The client begins to flop on ground and tantrum. You set a timer to see how long the behavior last. What are you counting?
Duration
A-2
How many types of schedules of reinforcement are there?
Unconditioned reinforcers are things that one is not taught that we find reinforcing or we pair as a reinforcer. Conditioned reinforcers are things you are taught that are reinforcing. Is hunger a unconditioned or conditioned reinforcer?
Unconditioned reinforcer
C-3
This Differential Reinforcement Procedure is used when we are tracking for the absence of a specific behavior, therefore; reinforcing other behaviors.
What is DRO, differential reinforcement of other behavior
D-4
When a BCBA asked you to take ABC data on a client's maladaptive behavior to identify a potential function fort the behavior, what does the term "ABC" stand for and what are they specifically?
A: Antecedent – The event or activity that immediately precedes a behavior/response. What happens prior to the observed behavior/response.
B: Behavior – The observed behavior/response. What it looks like in response to the antecedent.
C: Consequence – The event that immediately follows a behavior/response.
A-6, B-3, D-1
At table time, you prepared the materials for DTT. You gain the client's attention and then deliver your SD, "touch the letter A". It takes 8 seconds for your client to respond and select the letter A. What is the type of measurement being used in this example?
Latency
A-2
You turn 21 and go to Vegas for the first time. You hop on a slot machine and play 100 bucks and bet 5 dollars each spin. You win money after 3 tries, 6 tries, 2 tries, 5 tries. What schedule is this?
Variable ratio 4 (VR4)
This data is collected outside of a structured environment, where you are observing the client in the natural environment and recording data as it happens.
Incidental Teaching
C-5
This DR procedure is used and presented, contingent on occurrence of a desirable alternative to the target behavior
DRA - Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behavior
d-4
This chaining procedure refers to teaching a behavioral chain beginning with the last step: you would completely prompt the entire chain of behaviors except the last step
Backwards Chaining
C-6
You're in a classroom with 20 students working on math worksheets individually. One student who the BCBA is supporting wants you to record if the student is away from his desk at the end of each interval. What discontinuous measurement are you using?
Momentary Time Sampling
A-3
Here at AwA, we get paid every 2 weeks. Money, money, moneyyyy! What schedule is this?
Fixed Interval 2 (FI2)
A process used in teaching in which a behavior or skill is gradually taught by differentially reinforcing successive approximations to the behavior that the teacher wants to create
What is shaping?
C-11
This DR procedure reinforces a behavior that cannot occur simultaneously with the problem behavior & withholds reinforcement following instances of the problem behavior (reinforce sitting & getting out of seat gets put on extinction)
Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible Behavior
D-4
"alter the effectiveness of some stimulus, object, or event as a reinforcer, and alter the current frequency of all behavior that has been reinforced by that stimulus, object, or event." This is what term?
hint hint, 2 letters
MO - Motivating Operations
D-3
Your boss at the warehouse who rarely stays at the site for the whole shift, tells you to clear palates of supply. When your boss comes in the next day, he sees you successfully cleared 12 palates of supply. What measurement procedure is he using?
Permanent Product
A-4
Your spouse is serving in the armed forces, and you write each other letters to stay in touch. You were getting a response every 3 days, but your spouse got busy over time. You now get a letter in an average of 5 days. What schedule is this?
Variable Interval 5 (VI5)
This procedure is used to break complex tasks into a sequence of smaller steps or actions
Task Analysis
C-6
Breakdown the Acronym for SEAT. What is it?
Sensory
Escape
Attention
Tangible. D-2
Gradually fading prompts to transfer stimulus control from prompts to the natural stimulus; utilizes most-to-least prompting, least-to-most prompting, and graduated guidance
Stimulus Control Transfer
C-8
